Thanks a lot Scot. Not one of my favourites, so therefore interesting to hear others views. I'm still not finished with this "series", but want to try something a bit different for a change.

Another thing, today I took nearly a hundred or so shots of magnolia flowers (inspired by non-other than yourself), hoping to emulate your shot. None were keepers! It was very grey and cloudy which didn't help., but just goes to show me what it takes sometimes to get a nice image.
